"Friends inside the temple, travelers passing by, may I co in to shelter from the wind and sand?"
Suddenly, outside the dilapidated temple, an elderly voice sounded abruptly.
Jiang Shi, Daoist Master Xuan, and Zhao Houcai all reacted with surprise, quickly turning their heads.
Outside the temple gate appeared two elderly figures at so unknown ti; both had lanky bodies, and their clothes were very old, seemingly unchanged for many years.
The cuffs and collars of their clothes had been washed so thin that they appeared white.
Yet even so, the clothes on their bodies couldn’t hide their unique aura, which made them look not shabby, but rather transcendent and elegant.
At a glance, they were not ordinary people, capable of attracting attention wherever they went.
Jiang Shi and Daoist Master Xuan instantly showed suspicion, their gazes exploring the two elderly figures who seed like a master and servant duo as they smiled and looked inside.
Especially Daoist Master Xuan felt sothing odd.
"The ancient temple is ownerless land; if you wish to avoid the wind and sand, feel free to co in."
Jiang Shi suddenly said.
The two elders smiled slightly and imdiately entered the ancient temple one after the other.
The leading elder raised his head as if sensing sothing, his eyes suddenly focusing on Daoist Master Xuan, he smiled, "Friend, have we t before?"
Daoist Master Xuan was slightly startled, his mind surging like a tide, and a mont later, two beams of intense light shot from his eyes, "It’s you!"
"Yes, it’s ."
The leading elder sighed gently, "The people of our era, most of them are probably gone, right? I never expected to see a familiar face again, truly a blessing for !"
"I never thought you’d still be alive? Didn’t you go to join the Primordial Alliance?"
Daoist Master Xuan solemnly asked, continuing to address the leading elder.
The leading elder showed a bitter smile, "I am already half buried, withered in vitality, akin to a waste; the Ancient Saints pitied , thus they didn’t take along."
"I see."
Daoist Master Xuan gently nodded and sighed, "Who would have thought after all these years, you’d have aged like this."
Their conversation made Jiang Shi furrow his brow, puzzled in his heart, his gaze directly questioning Daoist Master Xuan.
Daoist Master Xuan instantly sent Jiang Shi a ssage, "Mr. Jiang, this is none other than the famous Supre Elder, Evil Celestial Essence, from the Evil Dao Sect!"
Evil Dao Sect!
Jiang Shi was shocked, looking at the leading elder.
The leading elder smiled slightly, looking at Jiang Shi, "Is this the young man cultivating the Sutra of the Departed Soul? Don’t misunderstand, I bear no ill will; I just ca specifically to see if you truly have the ability to inherit our Evil Dao Sect?"
"Inherit the Evil Dao Sect?"
Jiang Shi furrowed his brows.
Zhao Houcai, Zhao Feiyan, and Shangguan Yun in the temple also sensed sothing amiss, showing vigilance, and imdiately retreating swiftly to the corners.
"The Sutra of the Departed Soul from our Evil Dao Sect has been lost for thousands of years, already passed down as ancestral instruction; anyone cultivating the Sutra of the Departed Soul can beco the next Sect Leader of our Evil Dao Sect."
The leading elder smiled, "But whether the next Sect Leader is qualified, old still needs to verify further."
Jiang Shi imdiately showed a strange expression, "And what if the verification is not satisfactory?"
"If not satisfactory, then all who have seen or cultivated the Sutra of the Departed Soul must et their demise."
Evil Celestial Essence stated indifferently.
"Quite the boast!"
Jiang Shi’s tone was cold.
Daoist Master Xuan’s expression also changed instantly, clearly unanticipated that this rule exists within the Evil Dao Sect.
They had rely t several tis thousands of years ago, and to say he knew the other well was far from reality.
"Mr. Jiang, due to your junior status, I will allow you to strike first."
Evil Celestial Essence spoke calmly, "Strike now; if you don’t, then I will have to strike myself..."
"Courting death!"
Jiang Shi’s eyes turned cold; without a mont of hesitation, before the other finished speaking, his vital energy exploded, springing forward with overwhelming montum, unleashing a fearso palm strike directly towards the opponent’s chest.
This palm strike maximized his physical power, with faint sounds of roaring Ancient Giant Beasts resonating from his flesh, terrifying fierce Qi instantly perating the surroundings.
Evil Celestial Essence’s originally calm expression changed dramatically, feeling waves of terrifying threat from Jiang Shi’s palm strike; even he was overwheld by a profound sense of life-and-death horror.
This kid!
"Evil Dragon Shield!"
Evil Celestial Essence roared, black light gathered around him, thick and dense, quickly forming a massive black shield in front of him that sealed space and ti, instantly isolating his body from Jiang Shi as if they were in different spaces.
Bang!
Jiang Shi’s fully focused palm strike landed solidly on the shield, causing a thunderous roar, space trembled, black light surged, the entire area exploded.
Even Evil Celestial Essence felt his vital energy surge uncontrollably, rushing upwards, the black shield on his body was chaotic, seemingly on the verge of exploding.
His pupils contracted, his mind trembled, trying his utmost to maintain the Evil Dragon Shield, wanting to shout in alarm, yet Jiang Shi gave him no chance.
Almost imdiately after one palm strike, another palm, carrying boundless ferocity, descended instantly, followed by continuous palm shadows that were densely packed, like a teor shower, enveloping Evil Celestial Essence’s body.
